The retreat is only 73 days away! If you haven’t already done so, your chapter should decide which board members to send to this year’s leadership retreat.

Who should attend? Board members who will:

• Prepare by thinking about their chapter’s best practices
• Read the background materials before the retreat
• Actively participate in all sessions
• Make new contacts and friends from other chapters around the country
• Bring the skills, information and inspiration back to colleagues who were not able to attend
• Make the most out of this valuable experience!

Sounds too good to miss? It is! Register by April 25. All attendees must be current members of AIGA.

Reminders
Your chapter is required by the affiliation agreement to send at least one board member to the retreat.

Attendee limits. Due to accommodation restrictions of the hotel, we will try to hold attendance to about 220 people. This year, the 10 largest chapters (Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, DC, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle) may send up to six (6) attendees and every other chapter may send up to three (3) attendees.

If you know your chapter will not be sending the total number of board members allotted, please let Katie English know; we’ll then know if there are slots available to chapters seeking to bring one additional board member.

Hotel deadline. Reserve your room now, as the hotel will sell out prior to the May 8 reservations deadline! As a guest of the Embassy Suites Omaha you receive:

• Complimentary shuttle service between the Omaha Eppley Airport and the hotel
• Complimentary full, hot breakfast each morning
• Complimentary manager’s cocktail reception each evening
• High speed internet access throughout the hotel

See you in Omaha!
